Product in Brief
rC3 Ecl<ersonJ Group
New Zealand-based WhereScape offers data warehouse automation tools that use a data-driven approach to designing and managing data
warehouses and data marts. By designing models based on actual data rather than conceptual or logical constructs, WhereScape enables users to
iterate quickly through realistic designs.
WhereScape's data-driven approach is ideal for creating subject-specific data marts using relatively clean data from existing data warehouses. In
2011, WhereScape introduced a data profiling and model testing tool called WhereScape 3D that enables developers to inspect data prior to
importing it into its flagship automation product, WhereScape RED. This makes WhereScape more suitable to supporting more complex data
environments.
WhereScape can generate any data model, including data vaults. It runs on a variety of database platforms and generates native SQL and stored
procedures, which it stores in a metadata repository in the data warehouse. Because of its open architecture, customers can use WhereScape to
create new data warehouses and data marts or renovate existing ones.
Company Profile
Founding. WhereScape was founded in 2001 by two
consultants who built a precursor of WhereScape RED as a
consulting tool.
Although the company is headquartered in New Zealand,
WhereScape realized it needed to gain a presence in
North America to succeed. The company created a North
American subsidiary called WhereScape USA based in
Portland, Oregon. Today, more than half of WhereScape's
revenues come from the United States.
